Redefining Progress

Looks like a useful website for dealing with issues of shifting "the economy and public policy towards ustainability". What got me to it was an article on ecological footprints in "Green Futures". It does seem to me that the conept behind ecological footprints is probably a very powerful one in promoting the idea of 'enough' and sustainability. IT certainly helps us to focus attention on the relative wealth of the west. The new thing in some of this over previous web sites giving an eco footprint is a bit more info as to what would be the most effective ways to reduce it. Apparnetly using sustainable energy is quite a big factor and eating less or no meat is a big deal too.
